This here watch, the Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001, it’s a real fancy thing. They call it “classic style,” and I guess it is. Reminds me of that old clock we used to have, the one that chimed every hour. This one don’t chime, though. Just tells the time, plain and simple. But it does it real nice like.
They say it is the remake, that’s what the young folks are into these days, taking the old and making it new again. Just like when I make my old clothes into new. They say this watch is good to have, like gold in the bank. Better than gold, even, ’cause the price goes up, not down. Smart folks, these watch people.
Now, I heard some folks, they wait a long time for this watch. Like waiting for the harvest, except maybe longer. Nine months, maybe a whole year! Can you imagine? I wouldn’t wait that long for nothin’. But then, I ain’t got that kind of money to spend on a watch neither.
This Patek Philippe Calatrava, it ain’t like them sporty watches, the Nautilus or the Aquanaut. Them’s for young folks, running around, doing their sports. This one’s more, you know, settled. Like me. It just sits there, looking pretty.
- Calatrava 6119G-001
- Nautilus 5711/1A
- Aquanaut 5167/1A-001
They got these numbers, too. 6119G-001, that’s this watch. Then there’s the 5711/1A and the 5167/1A-001. Those are the sporty ones, I reckon. All these numbers, makes my head spin. Like counting sheep, except these sheep cost a whole lot more. People love these two sporty watches, the price just goes up and up. Good for them, I say.
They say this Calatrava, it’s got a new “caliber.” That’s the insides, I guess. The Caliber 30-255 PS. Sounds like a car engine. Probably more complicated than a car engine, though. Lots of little wheels and things, all working together. Like a little city in there, all lit up and busy.
And when you put it on your wrist, oh my! It’s like, like magic. You just can’t stop looking at it. Like a pretty flower, or a shiny rock. It just catches your eye. Makes you feel, I don’t know, important. Like you’re wearing something special. Which you are, I suppose, if you’re wearing this watch.
This remake Patek Philippe, it ain’t cheap, that’s for sure. But I guess if you got the money, and you like pretty things, it’s worth it. It’s like buying a little piece of art, I suppose. Art that tells the time. And that you can wear on your wrist. And people will know you got good taste.
I remember my old man, he had a pocket watch. Not fancy like this, but he loved it. Kept it in his vest pocket, all the time. Used to wind it up every morning, like a little ritual. This Patek Philippe, you don’t have to wind it. It winds itself, somehow. Modern marvels, I tell ya.
This remake, it is something. These watches, they’re like a whole other world. A world of fancy folks and fancy things. But even us simple folks can appreciate them, I reckon. Like looking at the stars. You don’t need to know all their names to know they’re beautiful.
So, if you’re ever in the market for a fancy watch, and you got the money to spend, this Patek Philippe Calatrava 6119G-001, it might be the one for you. It is a classic style, good looking. It’s a pretty thing, that’s for sure. And it’ll probably last longer than any of us. Like them old clocks, they just keep on ticking. Just like this watch, I imagine. It’ll just keep on ticking, telling the time, looking pretty. Year after year. A real heirloom, as they say.
I still remember the old clock, it was always right, never missed a beat. This Patek Philippe, it is probably just the same. Always right, always pretty. A good watch to have, if you can afford one. It is good to keep it in the family. If you want to sell it one day, it will be more than you buy it. You see, these fancy things, they never lose their shine, just like good people. This is what I heard, but I think it is true.
